Sorry. Running behind today.

Global Diabetes & Prediabetes Stats

How many people have prediabetes?

According to updated global analyses:

Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) prevalence: 9.1% of adults globally.
Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) prevalence: 5.8% of adults globally.
These numbers are based on diagnostic criteria and represent adults aged 20–79.

How many people have diabetes?

589 million adults worldwide (ages 20–79) are living with diabetes in 2024.
That’s 1 in 9 adults globally.
Over 90% of cases are type 2 diabetes.
Projected to reach 853 million by 2050 — a 46% increase

Undiagnosed diabetes

252 million people worldwide have diabetes but don’t know it.
That’s over 4 in 10 adults with diabetes walking around undiagnosed

Mortality & economic impact

3.4 million deaths in 2024 were attributed to diabetes — one every 9 seconds.
Diabetes accounts for USD 1 trillion in global health expenditure annually

DIABETES CAN BE REVERSED AND THERE ARE $1 TRILLION REASONS WHY THEY WON'T TELL YOU.

I've met a lot of Skoolers here, so I made 10 archetypes. I'll give you one:

The Midnight Poster

Signature vibe: Posts at 1:47am and calls it “peak creativity.”

Glucose signal: Liver dumping glucose like a panicked intern who forgot the deadline.

Catchphrase: “I’m just built different.”

Reality: Yes. Built without a circadian rhythm.

Why they join my community: You're fasting glucose is higher than their engagement rate.

What these creator archetypes have to do with diabetes & prediabetes?

Here’s the plot twist and a tease:

All the hilarious creator archetypes: the Overcaffeinated Admin, the Midnight Poster, the Launch Zombie, aren’t just “quirky creator behavior.”

They’re metabolic signals in disguise.

Because diabetes and prediabetes don’t start with a diagnosis.

They start with patterns:

Energy crashes
Brain fog
Mood swings
Cravings
Belly fat that won’t budge
Late‑night productivity spikes
Living on caffeine instead of fuel

The archetypes are basically your body’s way of saying: “Hey…this isn’t personality. This is physiology.”

Most people don’t realize that the same habits that define “creator life” also map onto the early stages of insulin resistance, long before labs show anything.

That’s why these archetypes matter.

They’re the early whispers of metabolic dysfunction, the ones most people laugh off until they can’t.

If you want to understand what your archetype is, what it's actually telling you, and what it has to do with diabetes, prediabetes, and metabolic health, that’s what I decode inside the community.

Because once you learn the language your body has been speaking this whole time, everything changes.
